Hecla (Lieutenant William Parry) and Griper (Lieutenant Matthew Liddon) left England in May 1819 and, by September, had reached Melville Sound where they found the way forward blocked by ice.

Thus, the expedition turned for home and made landfall at Peterhead on 30th October.fine overall condition; the freedom certificate has one or two small fold cracks and the corners are raised within the box; 3.5in. tear mid left of engraving
